About the Item
EDWARDIAN INLAID-SATINWOOD MIRRORED THREE-DOOR ARMOIRE WARDROBE
England, ca. 1880
Item # 403UHV18Z
An unusually nice and relevant three-door armoire from the Edwardian period, this very fine wardrobe presents with the vibrant nearly blonde satinwood veneers with their typical golden firey grain profile. The wood is all but extinct now and has always been cherished for its incredible figure. Brilliant pictorial displays of inlay feature prominently in both doors, across the crest with several rosette motifs and on all of the vertical stiles. The hand-forged custom hardware is made to match the motif of the inlays.
The heavy mirrored front door is opened to reveal a well-considered interior with four open linen drawers over a pair of side-by-side drawers over two graduated full-width drawers, all hung with bail pull hardware and being made to the standard typical of the period with incredibly tight hand-cut dovetails. The right and left side feature an open upper with hardware for hanging clothing over a single deep drawer.
A partial remnant of a label on the back that appears to date from the late 19th century shows this piece being moved by a storage company to an illegible address in France, quite a journey from its starting point in England. The craftsman was clever in designing the piece to be easily broken down into many elements for safe travels: the crest removes, the right and left side unscrew from the center section, which then lifts out after the door is removed.
Built to last the test of time, this very fine piece will continue to serve for generations to come if well cared for.
Measurements: 85 3/8" H x 87" W x 23 5/8" D
Condition Report:
Historical surface with wear, old oxidized scuffing, ever-so-slight blistering of inlays, one brown stringer inlay with some buckling, hairline cracks in veneers here and there; other blemishes and wear as expected; no keys; hardware for hanging clothing on the inside is added and remains functional; some silvering loss to the mirror; some veneer losses around the feet; a very fine presentation.

- French Louis XVI Style Parquetry & Bronze Antique Armoire Wardrobe ca. 1880Located in Shippensburg, PALOUIS XVI STYLE PARQUETRY-INLAID ORMOLU MOUNTED ONE-DOOR ARMOIRE Paris, France circa 1880 lock stamped "B & P Paris", back of one mount stamped "L.P." Item # 403BDA14P This exquisite Louis XVI style armoire is a picture of the high precision cabinetwork the French ébénistes of the 19th century were capable of producing. Crafted in Paris in the last years of the 19th century, the cabinet is finished on the top with an original marble top shaped to conform to the cabinet profile. This is raised by a thin crown of egg-and-dart molding over a repeating greek-key border executed in solid brass. The front door is a brilliant display of parquetry inlay work, an extraordinarily complicated arrangement that comes together flawlessly: the kingwood veneer ground is set diagonally while being bookmatched down the center to create symmetry - a form that is more fully developed in the sides of the case where these diagonal veneers are set into rectilinear and square panels for greater effect. This surrounds a rosewood and stringer-inlaid border encasing a latticework of rosewood astragals over squared lighter hue woods. The application of the veneers is so convincingly executed - note the curves of the rosewood inlays where the grain of the wood twists to create spirals that appear to layer upon one another. In the center of the door is a large ormolu mount of a Neoclassical urn with bacchus masks on either side raised over a pierced footer embellished by foliage. This door opens using only a key, as there is no knob or pull hardware to allow access to the space. The interior is a very spacious and simple arrangement that allows clothing to be hung while valuables and smalls are stored in the cupboard at the top. No keys are presently available for the door or the interior cupboard, but if locking the armoire is important than having keys fabricated is never terribly difficult and can be done by our shop upon request. The lock is marked on the inside by the fabricator "B & P Paris", while one fo the rosette mounts on the corners of the cabinet is marked "L.P." A magnificent example of Parisian craftsmanship from the late 19th century, this is a very fine armoire of ideal dimensions for both function and aesthetically.
